Also, the new controllers look more "freedom friendly", if you pardon the pun. IOW, they iterated them so that they're more useful when they are detached.
If these things could be standardized, we would have only one design for every category of item, possibly from different brands.
Since it can't, we have this thing called design and art, which is a good thing :)
I am personally not a fan of the toy-like aesthetic of the colourful switch. But having a choice between both styles is ideal.
Do young people even play on switch any more? Pretty sure it is xbox, mobile and pc.
I am a little concerned about that connector for the controls. I hope they have designed it to be sturdy. After working on broken Switch 1s a lot of USB C ports were abused by users.
